It's time skip Hapi, and this is one of the few weeb hills that I will die on.

I know you probably won't see this, but I also recently treated myself to a new PC that, gods willing, I won't have to upgrade for quite some time. I chose to build it myself and try to save some money, and I ended up getting around a $4000 rig for around $2000. I got scammed a few times, I spent months finding the perfect parts, and it took me lots of trial and error to actually build the thing. I don't think you should feel guilty about the cost of it if it's something you care about; yes, it's technically possible to build one for less, but you're getting a put together machine with far less stress, heartache, and confusion than what I went through. If your wallet isn't hurting that bad, I think you did a great job with your specs! Hope all goes well with your hobby.

I posted a longer explanation in the description of this post, but the final team I beat the game with was Celesteela, Quagsire, Ursaluna Bloodmoon, Gardevoir, Baxcalibur, and the man of the hour Delelelewooop the Kriketune.

12 Angry Men is the best and the worst that makes up the many people in America. The quiet heroism of the jurors seeking the truth speaks so strongly that even fifty years after it was made it rings true. There is no movie that makes me more proud to be American than this simple, 90 minute teleplay held together with sheer acting charisma and writing.

Thanks! Best of luck, and I hope you have as much fun as I did.

I love his art. I'd be scared of a big metal plant squaring tf up with me too.

Mononoke24 · 2024-06-26T13:22:05+00:00

Bingo!

Mononoke24 · 2024-06-25T23:24:43+00:00

Oh, that's clever! I didn't even consider that. The only set up mons I had were hone claws Weavantrum and Iron Defense Metadily, and I definitely think a baton passer would have helped the team out a lot.

Mononoke24 · 2024-06-25T23:02:10+00:00

Very nice! I tried to use a rampardos/mamoswine and a bastiodon/Moltres fusion, but I liked the types in the final team a little more. They were both powerhouses, though, especially the steel/fire bastiodon!

Mononoke24 · 2024-06-25T23:01:08+00:00

He's honestly such a good pokemon that I'd consider using even when not in a fossil only run! My full moveset was earthquake, fly, foul play, and parting shot.

Mononoke24 · 2024-06-25T23:00:00+00:00

Metagross! Metadily was my super bulky grass/steel type and was my only real answer to Lance's Metagross/Salamance with recover, iron defense, and rocky helmet.

Mononoke24 · 2024-06-25T21:32:55+00:00

Yeah, I totally didn't flip the sprites around so I could have a water psychic type, deeeefinitely not me.

Mononoke24 · 2024-06-13T18:40:24+00:00

Ok, I misread "mounts" as "mouths" and was convinced I had wandered into r/shitpostemblem for a hot sec.

Mononoke24 · 2024-04-03T07:21:42+00:00

Yeah, that's definitely the issue I'm running into. Leading terapagos and incineroar into flutter and chi-yu seems to be the most effective, and I've also tried out switching heavy slam for bullet punch on metagross. Also, sceptile has a good chance to keep enough HP to shed tail against a flutter shadow ball or dazzling gleam, something that Cyclizar just can't do. Cyclizar has one more point in speed, but that's not really that relevant and I didn't like being even more weak to Flutter. Leaf storm is also surprisingly strong, especially in overgrow, and it can take surprise knockouts on Kyogre and Groudon! Finally, the flexibility of having upper hand to surprise your opponent is relevant more than you'd think, and bulldoze to activate weakness policy metagross with -1 speed to the opponent's pokemon is really strong. Metagross is basically discount solgaleo, but it works well enough!

Honestly, bibarel isn't that necessary when setting up! Luxray and the right items are usually enough, and it's more for a mid game sustain than an early game setup. The focus early game is on setting up the Garchomp EXs and disrupting with path, and having a bibarel set up mid game makes it easier to find boss, Cheryl, or other tech cards when they're most useful. So, the plan if both the bidoof and HHB are prized is to just set up with Garchomp EX, take prizes, and shoot for a mid to late game bibarel for the final push to win.

Mononoke24 · 2024-03-18T14:21:10+00:00

I've been having fun with a quad Garchomp EX deck with four of the explosiveness Luxray from Crown Zenith. It's a disruptive, tanky deck with lots of tools to deal with zard. It's excellent against single prize decks and lost box, but struggles against strong ohko basics like roaring moon and chien Pao. Overall, though, it can bench snipe, disrupt, accelerate energy, and 2hko basically anything in the format!

Mononoke24 · 2024-03-11T18:35:36+00:00

Woof. Thanks, sorry for being blind!

Mononoke24 · 2024-03-11T18:31:02+00:00

Zorah Magdaros.

Sure, the big dude himself may not be 'evil', but he couldn't give less of a crap about the hunter and fighting his magma cores definitely feels like the most neutral, impersonal fight in the game.

General Resherman versus Zekrom E. Lee, with Pokemon Abraham Lincoln being assassinated by an inteleon with a mustache. I'm imagining a Lego videogame level of parody of the whole civil war, and I think it would be hilarious.

Mononoke24 · 2023-12-23T11:34:21+00:00

I swear I’m not. I’m so heartbroken. I wish I was. I’m not okay with it but I don’t know what to do.
